Product management

What makes users happy?

Developing a great product starts with talking to users. Find out their pain points, gotta haves, & would loves. Never, ever fix bugs or release features without user feedback & data. After that, split test your deployment to find the best fit. If it’s a high traffic site, iterate daily using agile scrum or burndown, & deploy while the sun is up so everyone’s awake & can think critically. Read more >>

Business Intelligence

Data is destiny.

I’ve always been a curious fellow, wanting to know more details and always being intrigued by the hidden knowledge data provides. Other people like the knowledge, but not the data in tables & fields. This is why I taught myself SQL: I wanted more information than canned reports could provide. Read more >>

My Projects

My travels

Lived

I was born in New Jersey & lived there until I was 12. I moved to Georgia when my dad landed a job there because I wasn’t self-sufficient at 12 years old. I stayed in the Atlanta metro area for 14 years when my employer offered me a data analytics postition in Dallas, TX. Not knowing anyone in Texas, I took the position because I love adventures, & I’ve been here for 11 years.

Traveled

Here are the states I’ve been to in my adult life. They are only places I lived or traveled to; drive-throughs don’t count! When I lived in NJ, the family and I went to every state on the eastern seaboard, but it was so long ago that I don’t remember much, so they’re not included. I’ve also been to Australia, Ireland, & Vancouver, Canada. I can tell you about any of my adventures to these places.
